Mumbai – 400 070, 
3rd July 2022.

Dear Kavita,
I was glad to receive your letter asking me about my journey to Australia. Well, I am writing you this letter to tell you all about my trip!

As you know, a few of my classmates and I won a prize to visit a wildlife sanctuary in Australia. We visited the “Moonlit Sanctuary”, which was situated in Melbourne. When we entered the zoo, we were greeted by the keeper of the zoo, who gave us a tour and told us interesting facts about the animals we saw. We first paid a visit to numerous Australian animals such as kangaroos, dingoes, emus, and giraffes as tall as buildings. My friend was able to get a picture with a beautiful snowy owl. Next, we spent time with the national animal of Australia, the koala, and I held one and fed eucalyptus leaves to her. We also trekked to the reptile house, where we saw exotic types of snakes and large lizards. I got to witness one of the snakes shedding its skin! At the end of our tour, I was sad to say goodbye to the keeper and all the wonderful animals.

 I am joyful to have been able to have this experience. We should visit Australia together one day! Give my love and regards to your family.

Yours truly,
XYZ
